Philips USA Full-Size Noise Canceling Headphone

 (13 customer reviews)

A few points
--Pros:
removable audio cable
very comfortable on my head
--Cons:
Noise canceling does not reach higher frequencies
The removable audio cable seems to be a bit weak, and I had to replace on my old pair once (they cost about $5)

My previous pair of these headphones broke after 1 year, so I decided to get another pair. They seem very durable, as they were not well treated for that year. The noise canceling is not as good as the Bose headphones which I have used before, but considering how much cheaper these are, it was worth it. The noise canceling cancels out lower frequencies, but fails to cancel out higher frequencies. I recently took these on a plane trip, and found sleeping nearly impossible without these. They are nice because you can remove the audio cable, and just listen to noise cancellation. I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone.

Philips SHN9500 cancels the refrigrator noise in the kitchen almost 100%. Worth the money! Can't wait to test out in my long flight to India in January.

I am so glad that I didn't spend $350 on the Bose version of this. I actually bought a pair from the guy selling the Refurbished ones. They were only $49 with shipping. They work wonderfully. I have mixed sound too so my ears pick up on detail.
